Looks like Sony just slapped themselves again, just like they did back with the Playstation 3.
But damn, this really does look way better than the 3DS.
TWO THUMBSTICKS.
THANK YOU, GOD.
That aside, holy crap that thing's expensive. Probably too rich for my blood, until there's something I
really want it for. The thing's pretty big. That's good for the screen, but I wonder how heavy it's going to be. So, yeah, other than the price, I can't complain. Not that I'm complaining much about the price. It's definitely worth it. But I'll still be waiting for a must-own game or a price drop. Unless I get it as a gift. :P
Interesting... also, a Sony device with a touch-screen? That's new if I'm not mistaken.

Metal Gear Solid 4?
...Sony just blew the 3DS out of the water...
Although, 3DS comes out first and is prolly less expensive
Hmm...a touch screen and two cameras, one in front and one in back?...Where have I heard that before?...
Fffffffff, that looks epic. But $399 is pretty expensive for me...
I'll stick with my iPhone for now, thanks. As a ninty fan, I'll grab the 3DS first. But who knows, if this isn't $999 when it comes out like the PS3 was, then maybe I'll take a squizz. Because it looks pretty damn good. I have a feeling there wont be much of a use for the touch screen given the two analog sticks, but hey. And lolwut, a GPS? xD

The NGP looks pretty darn powerful, but we've seen the best it can do already. Sure it beats the standard of any 2008 Console game, but imagine what the 3DS has in store for those developers who don't make use of the 3D? Just as good. And trust me, there will be potential-seeking devs.
The competition is tight, and what will win is the ability to compliment the hardware. 3D is passive and not a gimmick. The controls aren't overcrowded and the layout is tidy.
With the NGP, the touch screen may provide a new way of playing, but also having two analog sticks, and that huge screen, too, the touch screen will feel awkward and developers might not want to use it, apart from the occasional gimmick. There's also a GPS in there. I'm a gamer, I don't want a GPS. That's cash wasted. I can tell this is going to be a really expensive piece of kit, and at that, SONY likes to make people pay a lot.
So, gimmicky, expensive, awkward, crowded handheld? Or equally powerful, enjoyable, cheap, easy, clean handheld?
I know I may be looking on to a work in progress, but with SONY, it's the same story all over again. It'll be good, but it wont be consistent. It'll be value for money, but you wont use what you payed for. Etcetera.
Like I said, if it shapes up, I'm interested. But my money is currently going toward nintendo. Who thus far, through all the news and discussions I've seen, are going to do wonderfully.
And who knows, considering current events, SEGA is likely favoring this console too. Hence, Sonic games.
But we'll see.

Any Sony Portable Device has been getting a GPS build-in lately.
SEGA is currently making a game on this thing so...
also.... Kadokawa Games.... Anime Fanservice Game o3o?
holy crap this thing looks powerful but the only thing I care is that I hope the most RPGs will come to the 3DS unlike the PSP that stole all the awesome titles, still I wish to see what both will be capable of

And yet there's already talk of several SEGA titles and even a sonic title or two on the 3DS.
But of course, all I want to see Super Mario Sunshine. xD Woo Nintendo!
Ehem.. back on topic.
What would be cool on this is a new Ratchet & Clank game. Hahahahaha
$399 eh... well it is less expensive then when the PS3 Came out...

Doesn't really make a difference, honestly. Besides, it's a design choice. I guess it's meant to stand out. One would think it's symbolic, I guess. To me it speaks, "bigger experiences on a small console" or something. Of course, maybe that's just me.

Not sure if this has been said or not already, but
apparently Metal Gear Solid will not be hitting the 'PSV'.. However, if the demand is great enough for it - why would they not!
Another tit bit of news, they're also apparently releasing the 'MGS HD Collection' games on the Vita, so we'll be gracing our souls with those games at least!
Three (five if you include the MSX's Metal Gear 1/2) games to bask in - in all its glory.. I can not wait.
HIDEO - TAKE MY MONEY!

But seriously, it's $400? Didnt Sony learn not to scare their consumers with prices?
That's why you never buy something like this when it first comes out. There will be a better and/or cheaper version out before too long. Talk to the early adopters to 3DTVs for an example. Or the 3DS for that matter. :P
I'm just glad this thing isn't download only. At least they learned SOMETHING from the Go.

I thought that was made specifically for Monster Hunter? Then wouldn't it be Capcom? :P
Besides, dual analogs have been around for years. Even the Gamecube had them.
Sony was the first if im correct. DualShock 2, which came out on the PS1, was the first Dual Analog controller.

No sweetie, there's going to be other games that use it. And SmashFinale is correct about PS1 having the first dual-analog controller. The point is you can argue about things, but once something new comes along, it's going to get "copied" somehow. :)
Quote from: Juju on September 26, 2011, 09:58:01 AM

Well I know that. My argument is that Monster Hunter is the reason why it's happening in the first place. If Nintendo wanted dual analogs they would have put it on the system without an adapter. :P
Have you seen that thing from the back? It makes the 3DS look just like a PS2/PS3 controller with a screen. From behind, anyway.
basically, the way gaming works is a system called, "copy-paste-improve"
That's basically how everything works. Without it, stuff doesn't flow.

Believe it was the Dualshock. I mean, there were no difference - but Dualshock 2 was released with the PS2 era, same as the PS3 era having Dualshock 3.
But yeah - the first well known dual-analog controller was the PlayStation.
PS1 had the dual analog control, but all the games only had it optional since L and R were used to rotate the camera

Guess I forgot to say that the most significant difference between the DS1 and the DS2 is that the DS2 has pressure sensitive buttons. Could have just edited my post, but meh. Screw it.

Far from it, man! It's just stating my PSNID. Doesn't mean that I know everything about PlayStation :P

Fun fact= Before using the triggers was even the ideal way to play racers, people actually used to use the analog sticks.
But yes, you could do that, too. Wasn't very effective unless you were just pretty much full or half accelerating though.

"Hey, guys. Let's take the PSP, add most of the DS's features to it, add something stupid that doesn't belong on a video game system *cough*GPS*cough* and sell it to prepubescent brats so they can call people faggots over Black OPs even on the go!"
I understand that it's supposed to be an all-purpose machine but everything Sony has added has either been done recently or really doesn't need to be there.

I don't want an all purpose machine, that's what smartphones are for, I want a gaming handheld powerful enough to take console experiences on the go
For as much sh*t as I gave the 3DS, at least it outshines the Vita in the 1 thing that's most important at launch,
ALL the games of the previous gen can be played on it =/

But you have to rebuy Gameboy games and GBA games can't be played at all.

But at least ALL NDS games are compatible, with PSVita, only a selected few PSP games are compatible, Sonic Rivals 1&2, FFVII Crisis Core are examples of incompatible PSP games, not to mention those that have UMDs are s.o.l.
Also the 3DS's library is MUCH better than the Vita's.
Vita has Uncharted, some thing with rolling guys, and some sort of fighter....
3DS already has a fair selection of gems, and the lineup for this year just looks phenomenal.

Hey man, the 3DS had a craptastic launch too, but I'm saying at least the 3DS had it's backwards compatibility sorted out from day 1.

Its not like you're gonna buy a VITA & sell your PSP..? Or buying it to play old games on a bigger screen?
There are enough VITA games coming out on Launch and in early March?

Actually, that was my intent =/, my PSP is kinda beaten up, so instead of buying a new one, I was just gonna get the Vita instead and sell the PSP for whatever it was worth, not that I know that not only is it not compatible with all my PSP games, but it can't play my UMDs either, therefore its no longer a day 1 buy for me =/

Most people HAVE to. Especially here. We aren't exactly made of money.
Also I'd expect less American launch titles because most Japanese games get ported everywhere but here. :U

That's not what I was thinking of, there was some game with heads rolling around on hills and you had to tilt the vita to get them in a hole... creative genius ladies and gentlemen.
Little deviants, as advertised by gamestop.

want a vita...

...then wait for a price drop -as simple as that.
buying something at launch never was worth it, ever since the CDi.
The only thing that was kickass at launch was a SNES

The Gamecube's European launch was amazing.
And the Dreamcast had one of the strongest lineups in history.
I have already played the PSVita. It literally is the same damn thing as the PSP but with DS features and better graphics. I seriously dont see the point in getting one. "OH BUT UNCHARTED!" One game is enough to make you buy it? That would be pretty sad.
Here's a vid to prove that i have seen one in person. Im the one who said "yeah, i know what it is."

It was being recorded before Gym Class started
I have to admit, it does LOOK sleek, the design is nice. But a design doesn't warrant a buy in my book... :U

It also allows me to play PS3 in my bedroom, that's pretty amazin, also Gravity Dive and Hot Shots Golf have grabbed my interest, and I am interested in how the touch controls work with Little Big Planet and Modnation Racers, and what's wrong with Uncharted?
My only gripe with the thing is that its limited backwards compatibility and overpriced mem cards make me now wanna get this at launch, didn't mean to start a Vita hate thread...

Uncharted is a good series, sure it ill be left in the dust like Crash and Jak, but it still is a good series. But getting a console for only one game? That would be a waste of money. And sure the other games look interesting, but not enough reason for me to buy this console at the cost of backwards compatibly and a wallet wringer for 3G and regular.

I only bought the Wii for SSBB...
And why get 3G? Isn't that what phones are for?

Not the brightest move IMO. I got the Wii for a bunch of games, games i still play today and games i havent gotten but still want

Guess they want to give the message that smartphones are not the only ones capable of 3G. And it could be useful.

But why would you want anything other than a phone with 3G, I mean are you really gonna want to play competetive multiplayer while your on the road and constantly moving, or standing in a line when ur turn is soon?
Quote from: windlessusher on February 11, 2012, 02:46:31 PM
3G
Don't you usually have to pay a service provider for that?

There are just too many people that need to be called names in a childish manner these days. I'm glad Sony is helping us solve this serious issue in our society. Now we can be bigots on the go! -slapped-
3G is a stupid thing to shove into a handheld. It's almost as if it's in there just so they can remind us that the competition doesn't have it. And having more features, regardless of what those features are seems to be a selling point for sony.

Eh?
3G only increases the expenses to make the make system, due to the licensing involved with distributing a 3G enabled device, deals with 3G providers ect. Which in turn bloats the price of the handheld.
For shame Sony. For shame.

the CoD Crowd would never buy CoD on a Handheld. They've tried before and always failed.
As for 3G, all the current games with multiplayer fuctions dont support 3G 'cause its not powerful enough.
3G is only for Webbrowsing, Updates and the GPS Data-Downloads.
Also, GPS is something sony puts in EVERYTHING. The New Walkmans & Cameras have GPS aswell.
Also, just buy the Wi-Fi Version if you dont need it and shut up n' enjoy.
